Possible Wire Covering?

[Lucryth]

So I was just brain-storming and I came across the idea of Saran-wrap across the top of the wire, would that work at all, would it be harmful to the BP?
Any ideas?

Saran wrap over what wire??

[Kagez28]

wires for flexwatt? if so, i wouldn't the connections could get hot and melt the plastic wrap.

i can't really think of any other wires...

[Lucryth]

Haha, sorry I shoulda been more specific, over a wiring covering to a terrarium.

Oh...you mean like around/over the screen lid to hold in humidity? Yes, that's fine. One of the many options people try.

[Lucryth]

Yes, exactly!
Just was wondering if it would have any ill effects toward the BP.

No ill effects. Just be sure to leave some part of the screen open (a couple inches on each end should suffice) so there is adequate ventilation. Closing the screen off entirely would cause problems, regardless of what material was used.

using tin foil will help with heat 2!!!

[Lucryth]

Heat isn't my problem. Thats a good 90-92.
Just humidity I'm trying to raise a bit.
Even then I'm nervous about trying this.

Why are you nervous? I've covered my entire top screen lid with three layers of tin foil and two of duct tape. I left a small 4x4 square for my lamp and voila, temperature and humidity are in check.
